- Program 2523 ................... - Belief - Love - Grace ..............
Recorded at The University of North Florida - October 2023
The "Give Me An Answer" ministry began as an outgrowth of the dialogues Cliffe Knechtle has had with students on various university campuses throughout the United States. These universities include the University of Maine, Harvard, MIT, University of Florida, University of Texas, University of Wisconsin, University of Minnesota, University of California Los Angeles, University of California San Diego, Berkeley, Stanford, University of Hawaii and the University of Washington. Cliffe spoke on these campuses in front of the Student Union or Library at noon for five to ten minutes. At the close of his initial remarks, he'd open up the time for questions and answers, which usually turned into a two to four hour dialogue with students. His crowd size ranged from 25 - 500 students at a time, and between classes, new students would join the discussion. This is an extremely effective way to reach a large number of university students with the Gospel of Christ.

Amen. When my late wife passed away suddenly in an accident, I screamed and cursed at God and He gave me peace. He knows how it feels to be human.
So sorry for your loss. I’m hoping that you continue to towards Him ❤

Thank you for your kind words.
Christ helped me further and brought a new, wonderful Christian woman into my life a couple years later, we married and continue to grow together in Him every day. God bless ✝️
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your words are that of wisdom. God knows what it’s like to be human. That’s a beautiful statement
Shalom brother, peace be with you❤️🌟
I wasn’t cursing at God but was cursing while speaking to him when i was in jail for the new years weekend. Thought my sin was justified because this guy looked like he was about touch this girl on the crowded train of NYC. After leaving him be, he antagonized me, threatened me, and i blew up after about 30 minutes. Sitting in that cell saying “God why the $&@? aren’t you helping” etc. i been struggling to forgive myself since
i feel like finding cliff and his son was a blessing from god for me in a way, he has helped me with so much and pushes me to want to build a relationship with christ and i couldn’t thank them enough.
Totally agree, I was at a low point and randomly stumbled upon these videos months ago and it has helped me tremendously with turning to Christ and building a relationship with him
Me too. Thank you for sharing.
Agreed
Same. As a young Christian, they have helped me understand the Bible more and how to unapologetically, apologetically stand for my faith. I just want to ask all the questions I can to them.
God*
These students are truly getting the best class
God bless you Cliffe and Stuart. These videos have helped me tremendously
This was at my university. Unfortunately I missed the chance to ask questions or even watch him answer questions but I did get to shake his hand. Love to see what he’s doing
The main message from the criminal on the cross receiving salvation is that salvation is by the grace of God and has nothing to do with works or how we lived our lives. That’s the entire point of Jesus fulfilling his prophecy! The gospel!
For GOD so loved the world that he gave his only begotten SON that whomsoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life 🙌
Why did you capitalise are you trying to make certain point?
@@jessicarainsford7609 absolutely , GOD is the creator and deserves my respect
@@larzman651I wasn’t sure if you were capitalising to suggest the trinity isn’t true or to say Jesus isn’t God. Was just clarifying
@@jessicarainsford7609 no problem , I don't mind questions
@_Sacrament_ woo-hooo that is fantastic 🙌 thank you for sharing
Happy to see father and son teaching and speaking to the young
Jeremiah 17:7
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
We need hour long videos
Thank you so much sir, I have listened to this so many times, and you have given me a lot of reasons to study the Scripture and other religions. Well done sir, GOD bless you so well.
Thank you Cliff and Stuart… 💕 you are showing great love for God and these people.
I'm so blessed that I stumbled upon this channel. Thank you Cliff and Stuart for what you do. Seeing you both do this in-person is now in my bucket list. Hello from Australia.
Thank you for this!
This is the work of the Holy spirit, you guys are anointed! Praise the Lord!
Young people need this kind of conversation, GOD is merciful and loving.
God is so good!
I love watching Cliff and Stuart. A great father and son duo, blessed in their service of the Lord!
All glory to God

Amen to Unity. The kingdom of God is within us; power, peace and perseverance will bring us home together.🕊
I think unity can be helpful but also dangerous. On big issues like faith or faith+works. If your part of Christianity that teaches faith+works I’d say the idea is to separate your self from that teaching and those teaching that do to that fact if your trusting in yourself then your faith is in yourself as well which is a false gospel that doesn’t save. And when it comes to salvation I don’t want to partake in those that teach those things leading many people to deception
It always blows my mind when people are so argumentative. They ask us to be tolerant. but can't accept our beliefs. I always look at our Father as a parent. As an earthly parent, I don't want my child to steal, cheat, talk about others, be married etc. I want the best for my children. So if it is okay for an earthly parent not want our children to go down the wrong path, then why is it a problem for God to want the best for his children?
Why don't you want your kids to become married?
That one stumped me too. I'm a mom. I couldn't imagine why on earth a parent wouldn't want their kids to be married. 😂 why would I ever be against my children growing up and finding love, getting married and possibly having kids? How cruel would it be for me to not want that for my own child?@observationalhazard4450
God bless you Cliffe & Stuart Knechtle.
******** Great Q&A discussion
Cliff , you’re good, so so good in how you speak to students . Thank you and Stuart for your channel.
Needed this. Bless you Cliff and Stuart.
Cliffe and Stuart both are fire 🔥🔥
I love how Cliffe and Stuart just bounce off each other. Stuart doesn’t even take a breath before answering 😂 I love it ! May God bless them
God bless you🙏🏼
Really like the explanation. God bless.
We all need grace!
Oh my goodness that’s my college I went to last year! Man I wish I could’ve been there to meet them I would’ve loved that.
very true!
Cliffe and Stuart rock!
Romans 2:14-16
“For when Gentiles, not having the Law, do by nature the things of the Law, these not having the Law are a law to themselves,”
“who show the work of the Law, written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and the thoughts between one another accusing or also defending them, on that day when God will judge the secrets of men according to my gospel, by Christ Jesus.”
love the videos . only thing i watch i swear
I wish to see Cliff in person before I kick off!
Avessi mai visto una cosa del genere a Roma… sarebbe bello avere quest’esperienza diretta.
Vi ascolterei per ore
I wish I could ask Cliffe some questions. I have a lot of questions as a new believer in Christ.
I like how whenever Stuart has the floor Cliff is staring him down either being like "thats my boy" or "son you better not fudge this up..." "Baloney"
Wish I knew you were in my area. My old stomping grounds.
preach
How does he get all those people to gather around though? I feel like I could do this but I don't know how I would do that
Start first with one on one conversations. Build from there,BE FAITHFUL TO GOD'S WORD!!!
✝️✝ Romans 1:16
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."
It really only takes a few people to stop by and listen to what you have to say. Then others see the crowd and also gather. That’s how I got to listen to him speak. I was curious about what he was talking about.
The fact that these conversations are happening about faith is nice to see. There was a point when Mr. Stuart spoke about the bible encouraging doubt. Bear with me for a little, but the Bible does not encourage doubt just because people doubted. Through his suffering Job held to his faith in God, although he was at the edge of holding on because of his struggle. When he was afflicted with a skin illness his wife ridiculed him for holding on to his integrity. But he remain devoted (Job 2:9). Rather than doubt the Bible encourages faith. I’ve watched a lot of these videos before and I enjoy learning from the conversations and to hear people thoughts about these things.
I had to slow the video to .75x at times. Just to let certain things sink in.
i love the message May God Bless Y’all but cmon now we in 2023 almost 2024 why is the video and audio quality like we in 2003
✝️🙏🏽❤️
I always wonder what the students who sit and listen are thinking
I'm just surprised that they sit and listen.
@jessebryant9233 they always listen jn every video I have seen
i was there it is just interesting how he answers and really nice to listen to
@StubeefTheGreat I wish he came to the UK but I am not in university anymore
@@reubenlyimo
But aren't we all acquainted with those who don't listen? Just consider some of the resident trolls on this channel... and that recent post by Cliffe with the clown walking around shouting, "Disruption!"
Question , I’ve heard cliffs say many times he has respect for Mohamed. When I think about that it kinda baffles me. How can we as Christian’s have respect for someone who has lead millions of millions away from Christ? I would like to point out I’ve learned alot from cliffe as well. And in ways his methods have helped me defend the faith.
Because he doesnt want to get beheaded by one of momos cultists. Momo was a childr4pist and he deserves zero respect regardless
I guess we are called to have a certain level of respect for human beings in general because their image bearers of God. Then I we respect for some ethical teachings that we are aligned with. Yet we don't give full respect and honor to human beings but to God alone
Christianity is the MOST reasonable, cohesive explanation with actual, objective reality & scientific findings: origin (Genesis 1), meaning (Isaiah 43:7), morality (Exodus 20), destiny (Hebrews 9:27), order, logic, reason, sense, beauty from an orderly, logical, sensible, reasonable, beautiful God who has revealed Himself to eyewitnesses (Exodus19/1 Cor 15:6), generally in creation (Romans 1:18) & divinely in His supernaturally fulfilled prophecy in reality (Romans 1:26-32/2 Timothy 4:3/Matthew 24:6/1 Corinthians 1:18), historically verified (archaeologically & anthropologically by Christians & non-Christians w/enemy/early/multiple attestation, internal consistency, embarrassing reports, etc.) & transcendentally/objectively moral (Exodus 20/Matthew 22:37-40) Holy Bible.
How can you be CERTAIN you're not imagining everything you just claimed about the bible, God, history, morality, etc..?
Take cover! Circular reasoning incoming!
Karla Faye Tucker is the name of the Texas woman.
When Cliff walks towards you and says "Baloney" and starts with the heavy hand, gestures it over. Cornered, done.
Cliffe why not acknowledge that Catholicism preaches a different gospel than the one found in scripture? As someone who attended catholic school/church for 5 years I was taught to believe my salvation was dependent upon my ability to live righteously and fulfill the church sacraments. It wasn't until I read the Bible myself I found out salvation is the free gift of God, not dependent upon my own efforts but entirely upon the finished work of Christ. To paraphrase Paul, "If any man preach another gospel, let him be accursed."
Granted 90% of protestant churches preach some form of works based salvation as well, I think it's important to point out and contend with such heresy as Catholicism.
Karla Faye Tucker was the woman who was executed on death row.
Exactly
John 15:5
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
👍👍👍
❤
Does anyone know how to find out where they are going next? I would like to meet and discuss my questions with them, but couldn't find a list on where they are going.
Once you BELIEVE and TRUST the Gospel (1Cor15 1-4KJV) you are SAVED and SEALED with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13KJV)
👆
1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may KNOW that ye have eternal life
Jeez Cliffe its so true about that people don't believe in Jesus precisely. I'm a catholic and can say that i have maybe one protestant friend the rest are eighter catholics or atheist/agnotics and what i can say, most of the catholics don't really believe that Jesus is God, literally meaning and just go to church just because of the tradition and thay were raised that way.
P.S. i love your videos. Sometimes i would use other arguments but its very inspirational to me when i see how much love and patience You have for your adversaries. Hope i will be in US someday and will have apportunity to meet You in person :) God be with You :)
That’s super strange to me. I grew up as a Polish catholic and my entire family and friends and most of Poland who are catholic, believe Christ is God
Cliffe, what's your opinion on LDS
This man should not be calling Caitlyn Jenner her. That's his legal name that's fine but he's not a woman.
I agree, but when his purpose was more than just debate and start an unnecessary argument, it was justified.
That's right He's still a HE! And as someone who was a deathlete like he was, I'm never ever going to believe the lie that HE became a SHE. It's so incredibly psychotic and backwards that it completely goes ALL laws of nature.
In this case, you're both right, however, if one of the students had confronted him and asked him that very question, and then cliff still called him by that name or did not correct him and say. Well, he may go by that name. But that is not who he is and Christ or from Christ. Then Clifford be wrong.
Rejecting God's will and Jesus is very serious. Life is Short Eternity is Forever and constant rejection will lead to a hard heart and eventually unable to hear God's voice at all as he is always speaking to you.
I'm probably going to hell then because I kept sinning after knowing about God
@@tree777tree3 Hang in there it is a battle and it's never easy. Remember Romans 7:15-17 "I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is Sin living in me". Just in the Word and Prayer and if you hate your Sin then you have God's Spirit in you and if you genuinely want to live a life that pleases God then you're probably not going to Hell please don't condemn yourself that's probably the enemy telling you that God Bless you.
@@tree777tree3 that wouldn’t be why. It wouldn’t be because of your works. There isn’t enough “sinning” you could not do that would get you into heaven. The only way any of us get to heaven is by acknowledging your sin, confessing it to God, and putting your faith in Jesus as the forgiver of your sin. He already knows you struggle with it. He wants you to acknowledge that you need Jesus to save you from yourself. When you truly do that the Holy Spirit comes inside and every time you sin it’s more and more disgusting to you. This leads to sanctification and helps you conform to the image of Christ. All He wants is your humble heart. ❤
HOW LONG ARE YOU GUYS IN FLORIDA
God gave us the ability to love, therefore it’s from God.
@Theo_Skeptomai well we were made in the image of God and God is love so....
I have been listening to you and your father for almost 5yrs now. But I will suggest don’t play into the worlds delusion of what men and women are by calling a man a women. We want only the truth both biblically and worldly
I caught that too about the Jenner comment but honestly I think it's done that way to connect to a certain person or crowd also it leaves the conversation open to address that issue if it were to come up then they would answer it biblically otherwise that farther and son duo come off as gay bashing Christians in turn that would drive someone away when the goal is get the gospel to people who don't have it in their hearts
New favorite apologist!
Stuart touched on the story of 'Doubting Thomas'. Well, assuming it happened exactly the way the Bible claims (which we have no way to confirm), I suggest Thomas's doubts were not based on stubbornness at all. He was simply being sensible and didn't want his head in a cloud. Why would he be stubborn about wanting to believe someone he cared about had come back from the dead?
Au contraire, think about it, he must have wanted to believe it was true. After all, he was with Jesus before he died, right? He was in Jesus's clique, if you don't mind me putting it that way, right? But it's just that he didn't want to be deluded. He wanted to be sure that it was reality. I'd love to believe Jesus rose from the dead too. I'd love to believe there is life after death too.
If anyone thinks I'd rather believe death is the end, then, with the greatest of respect to them, they've probably never lost anyone they care about because anyone who has lost someone they love will tell you, they want to believe their physically deceased loved ones are still around somewhere. I've lost two family members who were very close to me and others who were less close but I still cared about them, so please don't come to me with "Ya just don't wanna believe it" or any other thoughtless, insensitive remarks like that, I'm not going to respond to that because it tells me you don't get it at all.
Give me sensible, friendly toned responses. I am open to persuasion. Yes, it will take a lot to convince me that a man called Jesus was actually a divine being who rose from the dead over two thousand years ago, but it's not impossible to convince me. What I would suggest to Christians here though is to remember that those of us here who are sceptical of God's existence and the supernatural claims of the Bible are people just like you, we're not your enemy, we're no different to you, we just disagree on this matter, that's all is. Cut me and I bleed red blood, sometimes I burn the toast, drop things on the floor and trip over the carpet or something, just like you, I'm sure .😀.Thanks.
No way to confirm? But far more likely than any confirmation you could ever hope for regarding your own worldview, right? But for sure, I think Thomas' doubt is perfectly understandable. The real question is, what are YOU willing to believe is true and why? I mean, you keep coming back week after week and year after year, ONLY to object, never to reason, no matter how "nice" you wish to be received. Thomas aside, it seems to many of us that YOU are being stubborn. I mean, the fact is that the Christian faith spread because of the testimony of those who were in the unique position of knowing empirically whether or not the message they carried was true-and most of them died for it. Compare that to your current naturalistic faith, that by definition, cannot and has never been observed in whole or part... then consider your own moral conscience, and tell me which worldview makes more sense. The mindless one you currently embrace or the Christian one that began as the result of eyewitnesses and infuses the human struggle with purpose, meaning, and objective truths and morality.
correct John, Thomas was absolutely right to question Jesus in that story. As a fellow Thomas, I would be equally sceptical if I'd seen a close friend lying dead, and then 3 days later he's alive and well, all we have to go on are Gospel accounts. It defies logic and reason that dead people don't come back to life. If it was reported in the Gospels that Jesus was pushed off that mountain by Satan, and miraculously, Jesus floated slowly to the ground and was not killed, it would be totally accepted by most Christians as fact. because "the bible tells me so". Critical thinking and rationality goes out of the window when it comes to the Bible it would seem. I could make up any number of fictitious stories if I was Matthew, Mark Luke or John, and tell them as fact, I could even say that "it was witnessed by over 500 ( insert any number here) people", and that would be taken as fact.
@@jessebryant9233 How would you go about confirming the Doubting Thomas story jesse?
@@jessebryant9233 interesting that bonnie43uk seeks "confirmation" of everything the Bible says but was willing to assert that the UN charter on human rights mentioned the word rape many times and called it a crime. Even though the word never appears.
He had the ability to confirm that but not the desire.
Bonnie43uk doesn't care about confirmation. He never has.
If you have no way to confirm it then you have no way of saying it is or it isn't true as you wouldn't know however that's if you have no evidence.
Cliff hasn't mentioned Shirley Maclane in awhile 😂
👍
Is there a way to watch a long video rr full recording of this video?
Nope , every video is 28min long and thats it.😊
@@Alangiuroiu thanks.
I love them but it bugs me he didn't give the gospel when the kid was asking about how to obtain salvation. Kid walked away still not knowing how to be saved.
Is he your son? He looks like a mini version of Cliffe :3
Hi I really love your videos.
I have a question can you please tell me why they changeed the bible.
I really want to know why
I'm Christian btw
Hey Cliffe and Stuart I was wondering if either of you could come to my school the University of Arkansas next semester. I've seen a lot of your videos at the UT and thought maybe you could come help us here. Me and my church have been doing stuff on campus, but it would be really great if someone like you could come and help us out or something. It would be great if you could, and we would really appreciate it.
Cliff & Stuart, I would like to participate in your discussions if you ever come to Chattanooga, TN, or nearby. How can I contact you?
I know I shouldn’t talk like this but the questions these people ask make me lose brain cells
I'm Catholic and JESUS, GOD IN HUMAN FORM is the center of my life, but im from another country, and I have to admit it, the Catholics here in USA are kind of differents to us
Catholic means you follow the Pope…
How does one get into heaven in your worldview?
Why pray to Mary when Jesus told us to follow him?
@pattycakes_pattypie The pope is like the principal of a school, he have nothing to do with if you are learning or not, that your goal not his, is not difference to me between the pope and the pastor of your church, I ONLY BELIEVE IN GOD EVERYTHING ELSE I NEED EVIDENCE 🙏.
@Alangiuroiu read again my comment, The only way to heaven is JESUS
Without lies atheism dies
romans 1: 20, God will still judge those who have not heard about him, nature speaks for itself
What a loving god! Will punish you for eternity for not accepting his gift!!!
No. That is door #2. There's only two choices.
24:49 - because, Abram. or Abraham. his faith credited as righteousness. and it just goes from there.
I disagree with cliff on the catholic and Christian thing .
Catholics can’t be our brothers for the simple fact that they pray to Mary which is basically worship .
Prayer is a form of worship given by God to God not to Mary .
They also have statues which are idols .
It’s one thing to have minor disagreements in the word ,but to have such big issues like this is why we do not and can’t fellowship with them .
It’s total blasphemy.
Also Stuart referred to caitlyn Jenner as she ….
We can respect else but we don’t have to call people what they definitely aren’t
But Catholics believe you are anathema (accursed) if you believe salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone, how can you say we are just brothers and sisters and let it be?
Council of Trent
CANON IX.-If any one saith, that by faith alone the impious is justified; in such wise as to mean, that nothing else is required to co-operate in order to the obtaining the grace of Justification, and that it is not in any way necessary, that he be prepared and disposed by the movement of his own will; let him be anathema.
CANON XI.-If any one saith, that men are justified, either by the sole imputation of the justice of Christ, or by the sole remission of sins, to the exclusion of the grace and the charity which is poured forth in their hearts by the Holy Ghost, and is inherent in them; or even that the grace, whereby we are justified, is only the favour of God; let him be anathema.
CANON XII.-If any one saith, that justifying faith is nothing else but confidence in the divine mercy which remits sins for Christ's sake; or, that this confidence alone is that whereby we are justified; let him be anathema.
CANON XV.-If any one saith, that a man, who is born again and justified, is bound of faith to believe that he is assuredly in the number of the predestinate; let him be anathema.
Thank you, great job and yes, I'm an ex Catholic after 30 years.
I don't really think that's true as I studied Catholicism as a Christian.
@@justingary5322 that's just scratching the surface. There is so much more. But do Google it, it's true. Bless you brother. Remember the Counter-Reformation? Torturing and killing Christians for owning bibles or believing salvation through faith alone?
@@justingary5322 Justin, by their understanding, it is true, my mom who I'm living with taking care of as she's elderly, and my dad passed away last year from dementia, she's reminded me numerous times she's reminded me numerous times including in front of her friends at someone this house or the disappointment. I am because I am away from the church. Because I don't take the sacraments. Because I don't take the sacraments. Because I am in fact anathema.
Jesus came as a Jew because of God’s covenant promise to Abraham. 24:49
As a catholic who’s been watching you for years. I don’t agree with you when you said we don’t believe in Jesus and only believe in a ritual.
Yes, we practice and have our ritual but the main focus isn’t the ritual it self it is Jesus at the very center. The whole point of the mass is to be with Jesus with our community. Outside of mass we pray to Jesus, read the bible daily, and try to be like him as best as we can.
I'm Catholic as well. First and foremost I am a Christian. Been watching cliffe about a year. He has been such an inspiration in my life. Like Stuart said in this video, all Christians are brothers and sisters with one another regardless of religion. I agree completely. And I love the celebration of Mass!
As an ex Catholic, you guys need to really pay attention only because number one if you really study out the catholic faith, not believe what the priest tell you not boleive what the magisterium tells you but to study it out for yourself. You'll see that there's too many falsehoods and trust me again, Ex Catholic of 30 years, I was born into the faith raised in the faith studied in the faith, number 2 cliff, though he does a very good job, and he's writing about a lot of things, he also leads a lot of falsehoods. I'm not saying he doesn't on purpose, but he doesn't lead a lot of falsehoods. Again, I'm not saying it's done on purpose because like I said none of us have all truth. But he does flip-flop at times that he should not do.
Proud Catholic you can’t love what you do not know Jesus said you have to eat his bread 🍞
Can you refer me to a video where you answer this question please :
After the millennium, why is Satan released?
He has middle knowledge. Furthermore this implies he knows whetger those who died without the opportunity to hear tfe gospel woujd have repented or not. How do i know this? Here's how: Because said if those who lived in a particular saw the works he did, they would have repented even though they lived thousands of years before Mary gave birth to him. More importantly this implies the following thing: God knows what people have done, what they are doing, what THEY WOULD HAVE DONE, and what they will do.
He lost me when he called Caitlyn Jenner a girl....???
Jesus said his house would be a house of prayer be more self-aware that he is there he made a church to break the curse he said he would not leave us as often
Stuart is such a beautiful son of his father and has been taught so amazingly by cliffe, so much wisdom cliffe has given his son
Stuart or Stewart whichever is your name, doubt is the opposite of Faith. We are taught to rebuke doubt and hang on the Word of the Father! Where do you get that God wants us doubting and bent in anxiety? You need to read the Gospels because you missed some big lessons! Yes doubt will attack you but you need to rebuke it, doubt when it leads to certainty is one thing but I’m doing this but I think it’s gonna blow up in my face is not how he wants us to “trust” Him. He wants us to really Trust Him! How did you feel last time you got laid off or terminated from your employment? If it was anxiety where is your peace? I have been laid off and thought man I gotta get another job, and I’ve been laid off and thought Well God has fed me this far in life who am I to doubt Him now?
I wonder what MADE these gentlemen come and do this. What draws them? I genuinely feel like god is somewhat speaking through them. At least That’s how i feel
Commanded to via Matthew 28:19 among others.....
Do you think it's wrong or OK to wear a cross necklace?
That's not a yes or no answer because the Bible basically does discuss you should not. But that's from the Old Testament in very special ways of her. Very special meetings, more important mate. Many people do, and if it's truly for just a normal reason to respect a love. God, and you're not idolizing it, not worshiping it. Not praying, it's cost not worrying about if you've lost it as if it's more important than the people around you. Then no, it's not a problem.
Please for give the length. Because you asked that question I felt a need to explain. If more questions please ask.
In short yes it's okay as long as you're not believing it will ingratiate you into some special relationship or protection from God. Our Sins separates us from God. The consequence of sin is that we die physically and we die spiritually eternally (separated from God).
That's human death is the price for sin and Jesus paid the debt. That's the entire point of the cross. His last word was it is finished. "It's finished" carries the idea of discharging a debt. The Cross allowed God to justly clear our sin account and at same extend to us His love, mercy and grace towards us. Jesus on the cross accomplished everything necessary to make you right with God. There is nothing you/we can do to make God love us more. Trust/believe in what Jesus has done to earn/make you right with God AND NOTHING else. Proudly wear your cross to ACKNOWLEDGE and CELEBRATE, the relationship and favor you have through Jesus with your heavenly Father. It doesn't bestow any extra protection or benefits to you. If you trust in the cross on your neck you are rejecting the cross that Jesus was nailed to. In this life, Jesus didn't guarantee a smooth flight. He GUARANTEED a safe landing with Him in heaven.
God bless
When he calls Caitlin Jenner a she…..sus.

Catholics are NOT our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Anyone who does enough homework on the RCC can see the major differences, such as how we are saved, how we come to Jesus, how we are forgiven, regeneration, intercession, to whom we should pray, tradition, the priesthood, where we go after death, baptism, the true significance of the sacraments, church authority, etc.
😥🙏
🇦🇷If you follow Jesus put the flag of your country to show the world that since Christ died already built his kingdom regardless of breeding country culture. 🇦🇷 And today people continue to click on racism and unimportant things. Jesus destroyed racism and differences 2000 years ago. 🇦🇷
